The aluCine Toronto Latin Film+Media Arts Festival is Canada’s longest-running Latin film festival. The festival functions as a vital Canadian outlet for emerging and established Latin filmmakers living in Canada, Latin America and the diaspora, while our year-round screenings, symposiums and workshops promote the development of Latin film and culture in Toronto. In all of its endeavors, aluCine strives to transgress aesthetic, ideological and geographical borders and to transcend pre-established notions of representation as they pertain to Latin American culture in Canada.

The 17th aluCine Toronto Latin Film + Media Arts Festival returns to heat up Toronto from June 7th to 11th. The 5-day festival will feature 77 short and feature films presented at The Art Gallery of Ontario’s Jackman Hall, CineCycle, along with our famous program of family-friendly Shorts for Shorties screenings at The Wychwood Theatre, artist’s talks, workshops, gallery installations and parties at some of the city’s hottest nightlife venues. This year’s festival proudly features a special focus on Indigenous Cinema.
